Problem/Motivation

Steps to reproduce

Setup :

  • Display Builder beta 2
  • UI Patterns 2 dev release
  • UI Suite DaisyUI dev release

Build the default display with Layout Builder :

  • Remove everything
  • Use Card as section
  • Map
    • Image field with slot image
    • Title field with slot title
    • Body field with slot text
    • Tags field with slot actions (use component per item —> badge —> map label with Field Formatter > Label)
  • Save

GOTO Manage Display :

  • Activate Display Builder with Default profile
  • Goto Display Builder and Publish the initialization from Layout Builder
  • Save the whole Card as preset
  • The preset doesn’t appear

In logs we have following Warning and errors :

Other building scenario : If we build directly from Display Builder (without pre-building and importing from Layout Builder) the preset is getting saved and is usable.

But be aware we get following errors in log messages (don’t know if that is relevant …) :

Hi Michaal,

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I am not reproducing. The only difference between my test and your description is the Display Builder version: I am on 1.0.0-dev, you are on 1.0.0-beta2.

I can test again but can you share your entity view display config entity first?

Tested with 1.0.0-beta2. Still not reproducing.

Hello,

I do not reproduce too. Tested with latest dev version of 1.0.x and latest version of UIP 2.

Tested on ui_suite_bootstrap.

Not easy to reproduce, so moved out of beta3 scope.

I added the following lines as a workaround for now. It seems to be working for the moment...

web/modules/contrib/display_builder/src/Entity/PatternPreset.php (line 257) :

    foreach ($props as $prop_source) {
      if (!is_array($prop_source)) {
        continue;
      }
      if (empty($prop_source['source']) || empty($prop_source['source_id'])) {
        continue;
      }
      $contexts = \array_merge($contexts, $this->getContextFromSource($prop_source['source_id'], $prop_source['source']));
    }

Hii Steve,

So you are reproducing the issue? That's great, thanks a lot. Can you propose a MR?

With a phpunit, it would be even better :)

Moving back to beta3 because we are waiting the next release of UI Patterns, so we may have time to merge this one before.

steveoriol opened merge request !233

There you go, I did an MR. But I don't know if it's normal for the props table to be empty or not...

I am reproducing by the way and it seems related to #3574921: Instance::moveToSlot() error when an ancestor is a not a SDC which is about some source data being lost, especially the source_id

So, the root cause will be fixed there, but anyway it i good to have a more defensive behaviour thanks to your MR. I will review.

It saves the preset now that I can re-use, but in the saved presets we lose all styles that were added.
